Protect your home or business from horse flies by learning techniques for identification and control.
Horse Fly
Chemical and source reduction control of horse flies is very difficult since they develop in natural habitats where insecticides, if legal to apply, offer little more than a minor, short-term degree of effectiveness.
In addition, the extent of their developmental habitat is extremely wide-spread.
Therefore, if a property owner needs to control horse flies, it is best to contact your local Orkin branch office for advice on methods that are effective and to find out what can legally and practically be done for control.
One method that is moderately helpful is the use of traps, although their effect is limited to a somewhat small scale.
